I’m so delighted that my final online review of the year for My Weekly magazine is Home Again for Christmas by Emily Stone. I absolutely love Emily Stone’s books and it’s a real delight to catch up with this latest one.

You’ll find my review of Emily’s Always, in December here and of One Last Gift here. One Last Gift has a special place in my heart as one of the characters is named after me!

Published by Headline on 10th October 2024, Home Again for Christmas is available for purchase through the publisher links here.

Home Again for Christmas

Lexie is always on the move, but there is one constant in her life – her ‘wish jar’; the childhood tradition from home that she couldn’t leave behind.

When Lexie’s estranged dad dies, she is shocked to learn that she has inherited half of his travel company in Bath. Her dad’s will stipulates that she must work with Theo, her handsome but bad tempered business partner, for a year.

Once the year is over, Lexie intends to leave. But a work trip to sizzling Spain reveals a chemistry between Lexie and Theo that is impossible to deny.

Will Lexie find a reason to stay in one place? Will she discover the secret her father kept from her, and finally learn the meaning of home?

My Review of Home Again for Christmas

My full review of Home Again for Christmas can be found on the My Weekly website here.

However, here I can say that Home Again for Christmas is achingly emotional and filled with the concept of belonging and facing our fears. There’s a gorgeous, fizzing romantic attraction, with a wonderfully flawed cast of characters that makes the book a true delight. I thought is was glorious.

About Emily Stone

Emily Stone wrote Always, in December in an old Victorian manor house in Chepstow with an impressive literary heritage. Her debut novel was partly inspired by the death of her mother, when Emily was seven, and wanting to write something that reflected the fact that you carry this grief into adulthood, long after you supposedly move on from the event itself. Emily now lives in Bristol.
